writing

In addition to my books, many people encounter my writing on Twitter. Over the years, I've also published a number of widely-read essays and op-eds in a variety of outlets, including my blog Aware of Awareness (which, admittedly, hasn't been updated in quite a while). Here is a representative sample of my portfolio covering topics related to politics, racism, gender and sexuality.
